I came to this gym after being pretty inactive for a long time, mostly just wanting to get back in shape. I definitely got that—but I got so much more out of it than I expected. There’s something seriously empowering about being a woman learning to fight and getting stronger in a combat sports gym, and this is an amazing environment to do it in. You’re pushed hard, but you’re also encouraged, supported, and never made to feel like you don’t belong. JT is an incredible coach. He knows how to push you without making you feel discouraged, and he genuinely wants to see his people get better. The whole gym has that same energy. I came here to get back in shape. I stayed because I found my people. 🥊

Gio has trained at his current gym for 2 years but just recently started to invest him self into the WN8 Muay Thai classes offered. Well, he’s hooked. He loves the work out he gets led by Kru JT. He has so much in such a short time. It has also helped his confidence. The class is awesome, fun, and educating. His sister has also just started to attend the classes

My kids have been part of the WN8 Muay Thai family for about a year and a half now, and I can honestly say they have learned and grown so much during that time. As a parent, one of the things I appreciate most is knowing that if they were ever in a confrontation, they would have the confidence and skills to stand up for themselves while also understanding the importance of discipline, control, and responsibility. Both my son and daughter play competitive soccer, and the conditioning they get at Muay Thai has made a huge difference in their athletic development. The workouts have helped them build more strength and power in their legs and core, while also improving their overall endurance and conditioning. WN8 also does a great job preparing the kids for real competition. They held an in-house competition that gave the kids an opportunity to experience what it’s like to compete in front of an audience in a controlled and supportive environment with judges and a corner. It was a great experience for them and helped build confidence. JT, also known as Kru, is extremely knowledgeable, disciplined, and dedicated to the kids. At the same time, he knows how to make training fun and keeps the kids excited to come back and anxious to learn. I especially appreciate that he takes the time to work with the kids one-on-one when they need correction or extra guidance. I have nothing but great things to say about WN8 Muay Thai and the entire WN8 family. It’s much more than just learning Muay Thai — it’s about discipline, confidence, fitness, respect, and personal growth. We are very grateful to be part of the WN8 family!

I am a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach and Practitioner. I have been training mixed martial arts for over 20yrs. I have damage to my neck from an old injury and developed lesions on my frontal lobe from previous head trauma. I have not been able to live spar stand up in about 10yrs, due to my injuries. I had not worked my boxing in years despite my love for it. Coach JT ( Justin) invited me to partake. I let him know I was unable to spar mostly due to my neck injury. He encourage me to come and let me know I could still train and be safe. It has been a great journey thus far, and I have no worries about getting hurt. I’ve been able to safely train, establish a great team relationship and progress in Muy Thai. Overall, I think it’s been a great experience. I really enjoy being a student and working on bettering my physical abilities.

WN8 is a great place to train Muay Thai! Whether you’re looking to get fit or get in the ring and compete, WN8 offers diverse instruction from an expert Kru (Muay Thai trainer) who’ll help you reach whatever your personal goals are. It won’t always be easy (nothing worth doing is), but I guarantee it’ll be always be fun!

Our son is 12 and has been training at Weapon No. 8 for a few years now, and he absolutely LOVES it! As parents, we couldn't ask for a better environment for him. There is such a great balance of structure, discipline, hard work, humor, and fun. The training is organized and regimented, and the coach sets expectations while still creating an atmosphere where the kids genuinely enjoy being there. In our son's own words, the training is tough, "but so much fun!" What really makes Weapon No. 8 special, though, is the family environment they've created. It's more than just a place to learn Muay Thai. The kids are challenged, encouraged, and taught discipline and respect, all while feeling like they're part of a community. Watching our son grow in his skills, confidence, and love for Muay Thai over the years has been amazing. He looks forward to training, and that says everything to us. We recommend Weapon No. 8 to everyone! If you're looking for a place where your child can learn, work hard, be challenged, have fun, and become part of a great Muay Thai family, this is it. 🥊❤️ We are so grateful to be part of the Weapon No. 8 family!

I’m proud to be part of a gym where you don’t have to walk in already knowing what you’re doing. Whether you’re completely new, getting back into training, or you’ve been training for years there’s a place for you here. Come as you are. Learn, work hard, challenge yourself, and build with good people. 🥊❤️

It’s a very good class/environment. I came in with basic skills and in the time that I’ve been here I’ve improved drastically. I’m refining my skills and learning new ones simultaneously. We are all here to help one another get better. Everyone is pushed/challenged, no matter what level they are.
